Homework Statement


Find the derivative of p = 2log3(5s)-log3(4s)

Homework Equations


for y=logb(g(x)), y'=g'(x)/(g(x)ln b)
for f(x)=bg(x), f'(x)=bg(x)ln b(g'(x))


The Attempt at a Solution


I got to the following: p' = 2*[tex]\frac{5^{s}ln5}{5^{s}ln3}[/tex]-[tex]\frac{4^{s}ln 4}{4^{s}ln 3}[/tex]

EDIT: Never mind, I just solved it. :D Please close/delete.
